Medicare to Test Electronic Health Record : The agency is asking small offices to test the software as a step toward establishing certification criteria.


 

"All the signs are pointing the right way," Dr. Leavitt said.

Physicians who are interested in being part of a beta test should contact an approved vendor who will actually run the test of the software. Vendors will select a small number of physician practices to participate. A list of approved vendors is available online at www.vista-office.orgwww.vista-office.org/software/demo
